I worked in the medical department(s) in the hospital. They say the are Traveler friendly but in reality the staff does not like having travelers there. Always given the most difficult pts. and assignment was usually spread out from one end of the unit to the othe 09/20/2013

Housing was approximately 30 mile(s) from the hospital. The name of the housing complex was extended stay hotel. Housing was located in city of Simi Valley. On a scale from 1 to 5, I would rate it a 3. Was nice for an extended stay hotel.

I worked in the Oncology department(s) in the hospital. The location couldn't be better. Thousand Oaks is a beautiful area, close to Malibu, Santa Barbara, Hollywood, etc. There are lots of travelers at this facility so we are appreciated, not resented. Great place to work. This is my first assignment. I started in December 05 with the intention of moving on after just 13 weeks, but I just extended through March 07. I plan to never leave. 10/20/2006

Housing was approximately 15 mile(s) from the hospital. The name of the housing complex was Country Oaks . Housing was located in city of Oak Park CA. On a scale from 1 to 5, I would rate it a 5. Apartments are clean and sufficient. Pool is nice. Workout room is small but adequate. Location is perfect.

Housing was corporate, ( I do not travel with pets), gym, rec room, nice pool, (unfortunately the kids from the local school often jump over the fence), lots of travelers stay here.

I worked in the all except ob and icu department(s) in the hospital. Housing was approximately 10 mile(s) from the hospital. The name of the housing complex was Oakwood. Housing was located in city of Thousand Oaks. On a scale from 1 to 5, I would rate it a 4. I enjoyed this assignment, working in the float pool. Had a great NM, very traveler oriented, meditech, staffed 1:6 on the night shift. Great location. Housing depends on your company.

I worked in Telemetry. There are no CNAs. Accuity of patients is not considered when assignments are made. NO HELP with physical part of the job (ie: making beds, repositioning, bathing or turning patients. We do the job of case manager, RN, CNA, laundry disposal, and passing and picking up meal trays. The housing I had was called Channel Island Harbour Front in Oxnard California. It was 30 miles from the hospital and mediocre. I rate it a 2. It did not have a washer and dryer in the apartment.
